Save MoneyÂ
Solar panels produce energy during sunlight hours. This energy is free green energy which can supply your premises and reduce your demand for energy from the grid. This clean energy has the potential to save your business thousands of euros on your energy bills.
- Generate Income
Ideally, all energy produced is used to meet your premises demand but as this is not always possible, any surplus power can be sold back to the grid.
- Energy Cost StabilityÂ
With the current energy crisis and unpredictable energy prices, solar panels allow you to effectively pre-buy your energy at a fixed price , helping with financial planning and allocation of funds.
- Smart InvestmentÂ
Solar Panels are a reliable and safe investment and require minimum maintenance. They also provide returns over a long lifespan of up to 25 years.
- Energy StorageÂ
With the national grid now struggling to generate sufficient electricity to meet the Irelands growing energy demands, and the recent introduction by the government of mandatory energy audits for large businesses through the energy auditing compliance scheme, plus possible future regulation of energy usage, an independent solar installation is an excellent backup power measure.

Producing your own energy will significantly reduce your carbon footprint and increase your company’s sustainability profile and reputation .
